Upload templates to surveys with no data

Currently, you must submit a survey to any newly published Feature Layer to gain access the "Data" tab of the S123 Website. This means you cannot upload a Feature Report template until something exists in the Feature Layer.

This order of operations is not always ideal when adding automations.

 

EDIT: I totally forgot about this one, but this also affects existing surveys that already have Feature Report(s) attached. If you do something that clears the database (e.g., add a repeat), you actually lose access to your currently existing Feature Reports. This is particularly annoying where automations exist. Essentially, you published the update > submit a record so you can simply access Feature Reports > have to deal with your automation potentially failing > update the Feature Report > deal with cleanup (failed automation runs, delete the pointless new submission, etc.)

Working with webhooks this frustrates me, I would be interested to hear the logic behind this requirement, and have it removed as a restriction.

Exactly. I feel like I am working backwards while setting up automations. I've set up enough at this point that you'd think I'd have gotten used to it, but nope lol.
